Burley Garcia|Heidi Klum debuts bangs while walking her first Paris Fashion Week runway

More than 30 years after she launched her modeling career,Burley Garcia Heidi Klum is still achieving new milestones.

The "America's Got Talent" judge, 51, walked during the Vetements spring/summer 2025 fashion show on Thursday, marking her first official Paris Fashion Week runway. The German model, known for her blonde tresses, debuted a shoulder-length wavy hairstyle with front bangs.

She wore a custom all-black Vetements look from creative director Guram Gvasalia, which featured a top that read "polizei," a floor-length trench coat — which also had "polizei" embroidered across the back — and leather pants. Travis Scott, Gigi Hadid, Barbara Palvin and Stella Maxwell were among the other high-profile figures who strutted down the runway.

On Friday, Klum posted a behind-the-scenes clip of a hairstylist perfecting her hair on Instagram with the caption "Reminds me of my 20’s 🙃😛." She shared throwback photos of her modeling in lingerie with similarly tousled shorter hair and a thick curtain of front bangs.

Creative director Gvasalia "told me not to smile, which I knew in any case, but I guess he was worried that I would smile," she told Women's Wear Daily following the show. "The music was amazing and gave this cool German underground vibe to the show."

On Monday, Klum also made an appearance on the runway for "Le Défilé L'Oréal Paris – Walk Your Worth," a show that also featured Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria, Anitta, Viola Davis, Jane Fonda and Andie MacDowell.

The event, which is partnered with Paris Fashion Week but not an official fashion show per se, celebrates "women’s empowerment, inclusion, and sisterhood."

“One of my most fun fashion week memories was from this Monday when I did the L’Oréal Paris show. I love that we all got together to celebrate diversity and girl power,” Klum told WWD.

“Also, at the show we were all given roses to throw out at the end, I threw my rose and my husband (Tom Kaulitz) caught it, so that was so special and I will always remember it."
